Is there a way to balance up the tracking speed on a Volvo EC30 mini excavator?

Mine seems to go marginally faster on the left side than the right.
The cab floor is free and clean from any obstructions, is it a linkage adjustment or a hydraulic pressure adjustment to bring it right?....do I screw the R.H side up or bring the L.H. side back?

Check that you have the properr tension on the tracks. A track out of adjustment will not turn at optimal speed

Do both sides have the original OEM drive?
If they are the same, I would check the case drain on both. You may have one side that has more case drain than the other causing it to perform differently than the other.
